In Satmar Custody

In Satmar Custody

"In Satmar Custody" (2003) is an independent documentary film, written and directed by Nitzan Gilady. It tells the story of the Jaradis, a Yemeni Jewish married couple whose children were removed and forcefully put into the custody of a Satmar orphanage within its community in Brooklyn, New York.

Aside from illustrating the sorrowful position of the refugee Jaradis, the film also displays many characteristics of the Satmar order as it operates today, from its ultra-Orthodox Jewish withdrawal from secular society, as well the community's vehement denial of the the legitimacy for the State of Israel to exist.
